Just finished up a flawless 750 mile round trip to pick up some tires and wheels I bought from a great FB Marketplace seller in Jupiter Florida. 17x9+40 Konig Hypergrams with Bridgestone RE71RS tires. Unfortunately I did not get to meet the seller first hand, I understand he was a great guy with a lovely FRS Drifter. The whole trip, I couldn't believe how responsive the supercharger was going down the highway. As advertised there were some scuffs on one of the wheels, a blue Sharpie covered that up easily that the casual observer would never notice. Going to cars and coffee meet in the morning and autocross with Red Hills Region SCCA on Sunday.

70000 mile oil change
Mobile 1 M1-104A filter
Kendall GT1 0-20 swamp water

Did anyone replace the fuel filter at 70k?

Also finally pulled the trigger on an SCCA annual membership

Christmas week took an epic journey to North Georgia six passes, Cherohala Parkway (spelling?), Blue Ride Parkway, of course Dragon Tail, Fontana Dam, Zepherhills FL, Tallahassee. 2000 miles in all. First trip to the mountains since boost and Falken Azenis tires.

Well I learned 17x9+40 Konig Hypergrams with Falken Azinis 245-40 and -2.5 deg of camber on front rubs sachs dampers HARD. Will have to back off camber until coil overs with smaller diameter springs get moved up on the wish list of life

Ran into the same issue with my setup as well. I have 57crs 18x8.5 +45 with Michelin PS4 245/35 and 255/35. Sidewall kept rubbing up on the lowering springs with only -0.5 degrees of camber. Decided to buy some coils off a member and replace my custom Bilstein configuration.

So after getting some input from the F/I forums I went out to Harbor Freight and got an engine support ~80 bucks. Worked very well. Removed six bolts securing S/C to head and lifted high enough to easily access slave cylinder and trans power plugs
